Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as a the standard ISO container, but the different is that they are opened at both ends. This feature allows for easy access to the cargo and is beneficial when you are using the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

A tunnel container can be used for a variety different uses. The dual entry points allow for easy access to equipment and other materials at either end, making it easier for palletised items to be moved by forklifts. It also makes the management of stock flow simpler. Tunnel containers are often used as bridges that are temporary on construction sites as well as ticket entrances for events such as festivals.

They are also an excellent solution for self storage. With the erection of an iron bulkhead partition, one 20ft tunnel container can be transformed into two 10ft units, maximizing ROI. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways, such as adding lighting for the interior, and side windows, making them even more practical for companies.

The double doors on both ends of the container make it ideal for storing bulky or larger items. This is particularly beneficial for warehouses, where it is difficult to access large machines and vehicles into regular shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time as you don't need to constantly move the container around which allows you to keep moving goods throughout the day.

20 ft tunnel container containers can be fitted with heating and cooling units that allow them to be used for temperature-controlled storage units for goods like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. They can also be equipped with ventilation systems to stop condensation.

Like normal shipping container tunnel containers tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes. They meet ISO shipping standards and CSC plating to be used for international freight. They can also be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be positioned on tracks or frames for trucks or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are also a great option for law enforcement equipment, as they can be easily moved between bases and may stop the identification of expensive equipment such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can also be transported with a range of weapons including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a great illustration of how an old sea container can be transformed into workshops, restaurants galleries, or even homes!

Storage

Double end door containers, or Tunnel Containers as they are popularly referred to, give access to the items stored from both sides of the container. This makes it easier to gain access for loading and unloading and allows full use of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities as they permit access to both sides without needing to remove items. This is particularly beneficial for those who store large, bulky or awkward items such as machinery and heavy equipment.

Additionally the tunnel container's design permits these units to be easily converted into offices or other storage spaces that are secure. Unlike open side shipping containers that must be completely unloaded to gain access to the contents, tunnel containers can simply be opened from either side and locked again. They are great for constructing offices on site and even housing, if needed.

The containers can also be used to store specialised equipment. For instance military units can use containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres making it unnecessary for these costly systems to be moved via roads.

This method can be used to transport specialised industrial equipment, such as generators or turbines. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is needed in order to reduce the time and cost associated with constructing fixed infrastructure.

These units can be equipped with an automatic temperature control system as well as an insulation for thermal purposes if you are shipping a dangerous cargo, like biological or chemical materials. This allows them to keep an unalterable temperature and ensures that there is no spoilage during transport.

These containers can be outfitted with tarp covers that are removable, which provide extra flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows for heavy or bulky goods to be transported that otherwise would not fit inside standard shipping containers, such as construction materials, timber, or large machinery. For extra security, these containers may be equipped with a high-security lockbox that prevents entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it is about storage and shipping logistics professionals employ various terms to describe how cargo is readied for transportation and then moved through a supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are words that describe the process of loading or removing goods from a container. Understanding these concepts will help any business that relies on shipping containers for storage or distribution to succeed.

Stuffing a container 20 ft tunnel containers involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet specific logistical needs. To prevent damage in transportation, loading and packing techniques that are specifically for the cargo are required. It is crucial to put the largest cargo on the bottom and stack lighter items on top. Additionally it is crucial to employ appropriate security measures in order to prevent the cargo from shifting in transit. Optimizing the load in the container aids in reducing shipping and handling costs per unit. It also ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations to ensure safe transport.

On arrival at the destination the container is unloaded or de-stuffing is an essential step in ensuring the efficiency of supply chain. This involves removing excess freight from a container. It also involves a careful inspection for any signs of physical or water damage that could affect cargo integrity. De-stuffing is only feasible in the event that the logistics provider and shipper communicate effectively and adhere to all applicable regulations.

For companies who require a secure and secure site access point, a renovated tunnel container is a cost-effective solution. These containers can be transformed to a turnstile or an entry point that can be manually controlled to block access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are also popular as bridges for temporary use and also as ticket entrances for large events.

Although tunnel shipping containers containers aren't the most common type of shipping container, they're becoming increasingly popular in multimodal logistics applications. The double doors are ideal for storage and shipping, as they can be opened from both ends. Self-storage is a popular option for organisations that need to have access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions to convert a 20ft tunnel container into two storage compartments that measure 10ft each and is a lot less than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method used to establish an instant connection between two points of an internet. It encapsulates packets that use one routing protocol in conjunction with other protocols so that routers at both ends of the tunnel can directly connect to one another.

This allows different applications to use a common infrastructure. For instance, a company can create tunnels to connect its internal resources to the internet. This will allow them to have the same security standards for all employees and customers. Using tunnels, the company can also shield sensitive information from being intercepted on the public network.

Container cargo loads even though they're made of steel, remain vulnerable to theft. Thieves have become very sophisticated in their methods, and they can often break into a container by removing its doors or hinges. It is therefore essential that businesses take the necessary steps to ensure that their containers are not taken.

One way to do this is to install a lockbox on the doors. These are welded steel shrouds which fit around the lug on the container door which holds the padlock. They make it difficult to access the padlock's location using bolt cutters. Additionally, businesses can install an alarm that is high-security and will alert them if someone attempts to cut the lockbox.

Installing turnstiles, or a manual entry checkpoint that has secured access is another way to increase security. This is especially beneficial when people are able to enter in large numbers. This can be used to shield guests from rain and wind, while allowing security to conduct inspections at the event.

Shipping containers are available in various sizes and conditions. This lets businesses select the right one to meet their needs. Some are designed to hold heavy items, such as vehicles and equipment. Others have doors on both sides making them easier to unload and load. There are even refrigerated container that can be used to transport fresh food.
